if the drum is setting up as a northern drum and sings primarily southern songs, southern style i dont agree with it. let the southern drum sing their songs their way. set up as a southern drum if you want to sing southern.
now if the northern drum sings primarily southern songs northern stle (recent not old omaha songs or the like that have been converted long ago), i dont feel they should do that either. i dont neccesarily disagree with drums that very rarily slip in a southern song (like norhtern cree and their southern style fancy songs). they kind of just throwing a changeup and is interesting to hear and watch. now if it is a northern singer or two who sit in with a southern drum occasionaly i see no problem with that. i know a few who do and am one myself. some of us love southern songs as well and like to sit in occasionaly and sing gourd or help some southern buddies out. anyways thats just a little about what i think.
